Chapter 885: Sealing the Kingdom [continued]

In fact, there are not a few feudal countries with difficult finances, such as Lu State [Luzhou Boguo]. It was the most powerful Ming State that borrowed astronomical loans from the Zhongyuan Bank, the Financial Bank, and the newly established Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, the Construction Bank, and the Development Bank in the past ten years. For this reason, he did not hesitate to take out the right to operate the port, the right to build roads, and even the right to customs and salt administration as collateral.

Do you think the agreements signed between Lu Qichao and the feudal states are familiar? This routine is too "colonial".

In fact, this is just a means for Lu Qian, representing a kind of thinking of him.

INTERVIEWER How easy is it to build a country on the ground? Not to mention, the essence of these feudal states is an invasion, and there are people everywhere. It would be even more difficult to turn it into an imperial land.

Even if he had made all the preparations before, but after he arrived at the 'feudal state', he would find that there were too many things that he had expected, and the massive materials he had originally prepared disappeared as quickly as if they had filled a bottomless pit.

Taking the Ming Kingdom as an example, it is just a remnant of the Three Buddhas, how many messes have been born to them over the years? Soldiers and horses were frequently dispatched, but because of the complex terrain of Sumatra, they could not cut the grass and eradicate the roots. As a result, a series of internal contradictions were triggered, and the local natives were very dishonest, so that Fang La could only suppress them with a hard hand, and it was always difficult to find an effective solution to the contradictions between the two.

And because of the rectification of 'internal affairs', how much has the country's construction progress been slowed down?

Not to mention the Mixed Jianglong, who developed armaments from the beginning and kept his eyes firmly on Tianzhu's feudal country.

These days of feudal countries are so difficult that they rely on 'mortgage loans' to survive, how could Emperor Lu, who is the head of the family, not know?

In fact, Emperor Lu knew all about this.

It can even be said that this result was expected by him as early as when the overseas feudal state was not established. He himself is even more happy to see the current situation emerge.

The banknotes in the bank were not attractive to him at all, and the gold and silver coins could not give him a baby if they were placed there, so it was more cost-effective to lend them out.

Because loans always have interest, and the money borrowed by the feudal state always has to be repaid.

Money is only as precious as it fulfills its fundamental role.

Even though the port operation rights, road construction rights, and even customs authority and salt administration of various feudal states are not worth anything at all, this is more of a manifestation of Emperor Lu's 'rules'.

- Brothers settle accounts. Even if it is the relationship between the suzerainty and the subject country, it is impossible to confuse the account!

On the side, too, it is gracious. Let the feudal states mortgage things that are not worth much, and then 'easily' get a large amount of money, this kind of "pretending" interest can easily earn a lot of gratitude for Emperor Lu.

He didn't really mean to use the Nanyang feudal kingdom as a colony.

Otherwise, how could the feudal countries now follow the route of simultaneous development of workers and peasants? A true colony doesn't need to be fully developed.

The colonies were the centers of supply of raw materials and dumping grounds for goods. Where to follow the current Nanyang feudal countries, the workers and peasants developed in an all-round way.

Not to mention what kind of interests are entangled between these feudal countries and the chambers of commerce and merchants in various parts of the Central Plains. The industrial and commercial forces of the whole country cannot be said to be all linked by the Jockey Club, but at least there are seventy-seven eighty-eight.

Through the matchmaking of the "Trade Bureau", the commercial power of the feudal state and the Central Plains was perfectly combined.

The latter sprinkled large sums of real money and silver on the feudal states. It is much easier and faster for large and small feudal states to borrow money from them than to ask for asset certification from banks, and then make mortgages or issue bonds. It's just that the wealthy businessmen in the Central Plains are not seeking the current little profits, but are more invested in the future of the feudal countries. Compared with the banks in various countries, the nature of capital is much cleaner.

In today's era, the only economy that can have the capital to play the current 'lending' system with various feudal countries is China.

The news that Lu Guo borrowed money from the Chamber of Commerce soon reached Lu Qian's hands, and the envoys of Honglu Temple in various feudal states did not eat rice. And almost with this news, Li Jun once again wrote - to send troops to the Polo Dynasty.

For such a thing, Lu Qian is no longer ready to care.

Now his 'territory' is too big, and he really cares about everything, and he really tires himself to death. Like Yelu Dashi's attack on the Ghaznavid dynasty, he was also prepared to give Li Jun enough freedom.

Since the beginning of the 'founding of the country', the route that the mixed river dragon has walked is a predatory mode, which is completely different from the Ming principality that closed the door to farming.

He set his sights on the Polo dynasty from the very beginning. Of course, the reason is not that the Polo Dynasty believed in Buddhism, but that the Polo Dynasty was rich and declining.

Now that Jerodashi's offensive against the Ghaznavids was going well, he wrote several times to Jinling, promising to wipe out the Ghaznavids at the end of his term, so that Afghstan would also become Luqi's sphere of influence. That is, the road to North Tianzhu was opened for China by land......

Therefore, Lu Qian sent Tian Hujun, who had not been found yet, over.

At this time, Li Jun sent troops to attack the Polo Dynasty [Bengal] again, wouldn't it be very complementary?

"Le Qing, you said that if I add a question to the autumn festival and let the scholars discuss the strategy of getting along with Tianzhu in my Central Plains, what should I discuss?"

Tianzhu is a mouth-watering piece of fat, and there are many contradictions between its countries, so there is no need to regard it as a whole force. Emperor Lu is now unmistakably revealing his coveting for Tianzhu, so what can he do?

Will it make the countries of Tianzhu unite and resist Lu Qi together? That's impossible. When the Heavenly Fang Sect poured in, they couldn't resist together, and they didn't do it when the British conquered Tianzhu in history, let alone now.

Since there will be no bad changes, Heng Zhi will help Li Jun. So that he can take some of the pressure off him.

As for Qiuqiu, this is the official time set after Lu Qian moved the capital to Jinling. The imperial examination is scheduled for the fifth day of August every year!

Although there are talents and people to separate the glory of Jinshi, Jinshi is Jinshi, and there is an irresistible temptation for the vast majority of 'scholars'. So much so that every time the scientific expedition comes, there are as many scholars as there are those who cross the river.

"Your Majesty is the supreme in the world, Hugh said that adding one question is adding ten questions and eight questions, why can't you?"

Lehe's reply made Lu Qian laugh. He's not so unscrupulous yet. There are rules for scientific research, which have been fixed over the years, so they can not be easily destroyed. "If you go down, this question will be set as an additional question and will not be counted in the score."

"Obey." Joy and Dao.

……

In August, ten miles of osmanthus fragrant, the whole Jinling is shrouded in the fragrance of osmanthus, a few days ago an autumn rain washed Jinling City a fresh, flowers and trees are verdant and dripping, after the rain the faint soil freshness and the thick osmanthus fragrance mixed into a very peculiar taste.

The afternoon sun is shining, and there are many people who take boats to play on the ten-mile Qinhuai River.

The melodious singing of the singer often floats on the surface of the river, and under the green weeping willows on the riverside, there are many men and women playing.

Jinling City was the political center of the Lu Qi Dynasty, and it was also rapidly developing towards an economic center. The dignitaries of the Manchu Dynasty created a prosperous and luxurious life atmosphere here.

When there are too many powerful people and their children in one place, this seemingly unmotivated atmosphere will naturally arise.

This is true of any empire at its peak.

Near such as Tokyo Bianliang, far such as Chang'an, Luoyang of the Tang Dynasty.

This phenomenon is irreversible in the 21st century, and there are too many examples in the world.

On the bank of the Qinhuai River, on the side of the stone steps on the riverbank, a group of women from ordinary families were washing their clothes with a smile.

Lu Qi's folk customs are more open than those of Zhao Song, and there will be no saying that women can't see people. What's more, these are ordinary people's families, where do they have so many rules.

At this time, a painting boat passed by the river.

Listening to the faint laughter on the shore and the noise of pedestrians, cars and horses, the group of people on this boat were all smiling.

"Brother Yuwen, Brother Huang, along the way, the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is pleasant, just looking at the Qinhuai style is already intoxicating, I really don't know how prosperous Jinling City is!" A soldier in a blue brocade robe said in the wind. Although the younger brother was born in Qilu, he went to Ganxi with his father when he was young, and ten years have passed in a blink of an eye, and the prosperity of his former hometown has long been forgotten. Although the two brothers are not Qilu people, they are fortunate to study in Yidu for several years, and the younger brother is going to ask the two virtuous brothers today, so that they can give some teaching, and come to talk to the younger brother about the difference between the old and the new capital. ”

This person's surname is Zhao, and he is the nephew of Zhao Butry's family, which can be regarded as having a background. The two of them naturally have a good family background, and their parents' future is far brighter than that of his father, but Zhao Shusheng does not envy this, but envies that the two of them can study in Yidu for several years.

Since Emperor Lu moved the capital to Jinling, the role of Yidu has changed, from the original political center to the academic and cultural center of the north.
